Allegheny Hydro No. 8 & 9 Limited Partnership and Connecticut 
National Bank; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

April 26, 1996.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA reviews an application to amend the license for the Allegheny 
River Lock and Dams No. 8 & 9 Hydroelectric Project. The license would 
be amended to allow the installation of 15-inch flashboards at Lock and 
Dam 9 from about May 1 through October 31, 1996. Flashboards would 
raise the Lock and Dam 9 navigation pool to benefit recreational 
boating. The EA finds that approving the application to install 15-inch 
flashboards from about May 1 through October 31, 1996 would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment. The Allegheny River Lock and Dams 8 & 9 
Hydroelectric Project is located on the Allegheny River at river mile 
62.2 in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be obtained 
by calling the Commission's Public Reference Room at [phone].

Acting Secretary.
